Acton Council on Aging presents a portrayal of Deborah Sampson, a poor, ordinary young woman from Massachusetts who managed to hoodwink George Washington’s army! She is the only woman known to have disguised herself as a man and serve as a soldier in the Continental Army without getting caught. Learn about close calls, mountainous obstacles, and head-scratching conundrums this heroine faced, risking humiliation and imprisonment to help free the colonies from English rule. Gain a behind-the-scenes look at this principled, dangerous deception and the character of the humble rebel who pulled it off. Janet Parnes of Historical Portrayals by Lady
